‘Anabta, Jubara (Kafriat), Qalqiliya, Thu 28.2.08, Morning
Jubara
07:25 – There is a delay in the entrance until the key to the village entrance gate is found. At the Schoolchildren's Gate the soldiers don't allow anyone to pass without a permit. Clarification over the phone reveals that we are not allowed to pass. On the eastern side of the gate, there is a red sign announcing the entrance to Palestine. Civilians and cars pass quickly. At Ar-Ras there are only few cars. On the way back to Jubara, we had to call the soldier again to open the gate for us.
Anabta
07:50 – The line of cars heading Tulkarm stretches to the junction of Einav – Beit Iba. It took a truck 10 minutes to pass. Fifteen minutes later, the line dissolves. From the direction of Tulkarm the passage is fairly quick. Some taxis are sent to stand aside for an additional inspection. For every document check, the soldier has to go to the pillbox, where there is probably a computer or a telephone, which delays the inspection.
Two taxis are sent back to Tulkarm. A lot of passengers get off the bus and cross the checkpoint on foot to save time. According to our check, it took a car 35 minutes to pass.
Qalqiliya
10:50 – Quick passage. Short line at the entrance.

'Anabta CP
The checkpoint is located south of the village of 'Anabta, at the intersection of Road 60 (leading to Nablus at the entrance to Area A), with Road (57, 557, 5576) facing west towards the Einav settlement and the checkpoint at the exit from the West Bank - Figs checkpoint. Until 2010 we used to watch the intersection and report the long columns created due to a slow inspection of the vehicles in both directions.

Jubara (Kafriat)
See all reports for this place-
The Jabra checkpoint was on Road 557, south of Tulkarm, on the side of the Figs Pass, which is located within the Palestinian Authority (a few kilometers east of the Green Line), and serves as an entry barrier from the territories to Israel. The checkpoint to the village of Jubara, which until 2013 was in the seam area, blocked and surrounded by a fence, was intended for the passage of the family members of the house next to the checkpoint, and also for the MachsomWatch volunteers (with special permission only), on their way to checkpoint 753. on the other side of the village. The soldiers supervising the "fig crossing" also supervised the crossing at this checkpoint, in our shifts we often waited a long time until the key was found and the gate opened. The checkpoint was abolished and became part of the separation fence that was moved west following the High Court.

Qalqiliya checkpoint
See all reports for this place-
Qalqilya is surrounded on all sides by the separation barrier. The only exit from the city is in the east of the city on the road that leaves the city in an easterly direction. This is where the checkpoint was located. When the checkpoint was active until 2009 our shifts watched long queues of cars being inspected at the only exit from the city to the West Bank. The checkpoint was canceled, but there is a military presence at the entrance to the city.
